Can't tell the exact list, but the key format is one. There propably is
not much that is not standard conforming, more likely the standard is
more versatile and capable than the current libssh2 implementation. This
is something that needs quite much studying since the whole SECSH
document set is large. So my question transforms into "Who will check
how conformant libssh2 actually is?".
